Ok, that was my fault. It will work now, and it won't break again.


In case anyone's interested, the problem was that last week you voted 
before I changed the voting scripts to use "For" and "Against" instead 
of "Yes" and "No". That's why the scripts didn't register your votes 
the first time I ran them last nweek. I fixed it by just running the 
datafile through sed twice, but in doing so I basically overwrote the 
file with a new votes file that was owned by me; my default permissions 
don't allow Apache to edit files I create, so the voting script would 
not have been able to save your votes because it couldn't touch that 
file. I gave the file back to Apache, so you should have no trouble 
now.
